NPC Comic

Lisa and Mike dressed up as Jaina and Link got me wondering about cosplay habits in general. I dressed up for one con. I was Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service. It was fun, but I’m usually not up for the effort it takes to put together a good costume, not to mention the possible discomforts [...]

Have you heard? There’s not gonna be a BlizzCon this year! Community Manager Bashiok weighed in on the forums to explain why. In short, they feel they wouldn’t have too much to show this year, and want to focus their efforts on releasing content, like Mists of Pandaria. What do you think? [polldaddy poll=5877284] I [...]

Polls are closed! Let’s look at the results. The vast majority of you are not trying DCUO. Not surprising, given the time and money investment required for a new MMO. And the fact that it isn’t the hotly anticipated Guild Wars 2 or Star Wars: The Old Republic. Oh, and have you heard? A little [...]

Who’s got the better book, Lisa or cute purple-haired girl? Manga lubbers, fight!

I closed the poll asking what version of Cataclysm you WoW players out there are buying. Let’s look at the results, shall we? Ok, let’s take out the 14% of voters who don’t play WoW. That leaves us with 976 votes, and the percents are recast: Collector’s Edition:  33% Physical retail Standard Edition: 25% Digital: [...]

Europe and Russia will be set at [...]

I find it hard to believe I’ll be content to play bingo and watch Jeopardy reruns when I’m well into my retirement. If arthritis or other ailments don’t prevent me from using a computer or playing video games, then I hope I can fill the hours doing something I truly enjoy. Since the kids these [...]

I was going to do a big post about the results from last week’s poll, but thanks to Blizzard’s fast action on behalf of the outcries about Real ID forum names, there’s not much need. The vocal majority did not want real names in the official forums, and the poll here was no exception. I [...]

On Thursday I asked if you bought the in-game non-combat pets from the Blizzard store. 885 votes later, we have this: So 49% aren’t interested in buying the pets. (The first answer plus the third answer.) At least 30% bought some or all of the pets/mounts, and let’s make it 33% since a lot of [...]

Given the topic of recent comics, I figured this poll was in order. Have at it! And feel free to share you thoughts on the matter of micro-transactions in MMOs in the comments, whether or not you’re a WoW player. The poll will close Monday evening and I’ll do a post about the results and [...]
